Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
When Newt Scamander is forced to lift his travel ban and chase the mysterious Credence across Europe—teaming with a ruthless bounty hunter and confronting old classmates—he must stop a dark wizard’s escape before a looming magical war engulfs both worlds.
“Fate of one. Future of all.”

Synopsis
Gellert Grindelwald escapes imprisonment and begins gathering followers to promote a doctrine that places wizards above non‑magical beings. The only person able to stop him is Albus Dumbledore, whom Grindelwald once considered his closest friend. Dumbledore seeks assistance from Newt Scamander, the wizard who previously thwarted Grindelwald and who was formerly Dumbledore’s student; Scamander agrees to help, unaware of the dangers ahead. As the conflict escalates, love and loyalty are tested among friends and family in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 92+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

2018 · Box office
✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.3× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
